IN THE LITERATURE OF THE WORLD BY THIS SLOW, NEVER - CEASING PERMEATION OF INDIA THOUGHT.


This great German [ Schopenhauer ] sage foretold that "The world is about to see a revolution in thought more extensive and more powerful than that which was witnessed by the Renaissance of Greek Literature", and today his predictions are coming to pass. Those who keep their eyes open, those who understand the workings in the minds of different nations of the West, those who are thinkers and study the different nations, will find the immense change that has been produced in the tone, the procedure, in the methods, and in the literature of the world by this slow, never-ceasing permeation of Indian thought.
